Seasoned market analyst CryptoBull has offered a personal account of his XRP investment journey, delivering a measured warning to XRP holders currently navigating the market’s volatility.
In a tweet shared with his followers, he detailed the circumstances surrounding his initial XRP purchase in March 2020, explaining that he bought the asset at $0.14 or below. At the time, he noted that it was one of the most uncertain moments for him as an investor, emphasizing that many people around him questioned the decision, calling it foolish.
CryptoBull highlighted that despite the uncertainty, he held his position. As the months progressed, XRP began to show signs of strength, climbing to $0.65 by November 2020. At that point, he believed a new all-time high was within reach, mirroring the optimism held by many investors who anticipated the asset would follow the broader upward momentum seen across the cryptocurrency market.
Let me share a little #XRP story with you:
In March of 2020 I bought XRP at $0.14 and below. It was the scariest moment to put money into something when everyone told me I am stupid.
As time went by I felt better about it, and, finally in November of 2020 the XRP price…

SEC Lawsuit and Long-Term Holding
However, on December 20, 2020, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filed its now widely known lawsuit against Ripple. The price of XRP sharply declined to $0.17 following the announcement, effectively erasing much of the gains from earlier that year. CryptoBull noted that while the broader market went on to reach new all-time highs during the 2021 bull run, XRP did not participate in that rally.
Despite this setback, he stated that he chose not to exit his position. Instead, he continued to hold his XRP for the 1,690 days that followed the SEC’s filing. CryptoBull emphasized that this decision was grounded in patience, which he described as the most valuable trait for any investor operating in such unpredictable conditions. His continued commitment to holding the asset through multiple market cycles and regulatory battles forms the core message of his tweet.

Taking Profit as Prices Rise
As XRP’s price has recently surged, CryptoBull confirmed that he has started to take profits. He disclosed that he sold portions of his XRP holdings at $2 and $3, and indicated he plans to gradually exit the market if the price continues to rise towards $10 and above. According to him, taking profits is essential and should be done with consideration to individual financial goals and personal risk tolerance.
He warned against holding indefinitely out of fear of missing out on further gains. In his view, as the asset’s price rises, the risks associated with hodling increase. This, he suggested, is often overlooked by retail investors who tend to get caught in emotional decision-making during price rallies.
By sharing his strategy, CryptoBull aimed to highlight the importance of exiting the market with discipline, rather than being misled by emotional sentiment at peak moments.
Final Reflection and Message to Holders
In closing, CryptoBull pinpointed the personal cost of holding his XRP position for 1,690 days, expressing contentment with his decision. However, he also noted the importance of knowing when to exit. He posed a final question to his followers, asking whether they could wait as long as he did or if they were equipped to manage their positions with the same level of patience and conviction.
